Fancy Friday: Bikini-inspired

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys!
This time the Fancy Friday challenge is matching a bikini! Down below is the bikini I decided to be inspired by with the nail polishes I decided to use.


For the manicure I started off with a pink base of Essie Lovie Dovie. Afterwards I used a nail art striper and the blue nail polish Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (original formula) to draw on the horizontal stripes.


I really like how these turned out and how well they are matching my bikini!

Maybelline Superpower Blue

Hello ladies!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful nail polish Maybelline Superpower Blue.
Superpower Blue is a blue creme with teal undertones.

The formula was great - it was easy to work with and really creamy. The opacity was amazing as well and it was a OCW! The polish is so pigmented that I will recommend applying two coats of base coat to prevent any staining on your nails.


I love this blue nail polish and especially at that price (5 $)!

Golden rain in the urban jungle

Today I want to show you guys the simple manicure that I wore today.

For the manicure I used the light beige nail polish Essie Urban Jungle with a chunky gold glitter accent nail of Maybelline Undress to Impress - pun in title intended.


I love this simple manicure!

Waterfall

Hi girls!

Sorry about the silence on the blog this last week, but I just moved and it has been really stressful. Fortunately I am back and ready to show you guys some nail art I did today - a waterfall manicure!

For the manicure I started off with a mint blue base of Essie Mint Candy Apple. Afterwards I used a small nail art brush and the silver/gold glitter Essie Beyond Cosy to make random lines in different lengths down the nail to make it resemble a waterfall.


I love a good waterfall manicure and this one is no exception.

OPI You Are So Outta Lime!

Hey guys!

Today I have another OPI nail polish from the new OPI Neon Collection to swatch and review for you - OPI You Are So Outta Lime!
You Are So Outta Lime! is a bright green neon.

The formula was great - it applied like a crelly, but it was nice and creamy. The opacity was great as well. I used two coats for the photo below.


I am loving this color! It is so bright and just perfect for summer!

OPI Life Gave Me Lemons

Hey guys!

Today I have another OPI nail polish to swatch and review for you - OPI Life Gave Me Lemons from the new OPI Neon Collection.
Life Gave Me Lemons is neon yellow with green undertones.

The formula was good - it applied like a crelly and it was a little streaky on the first coat, but easily build-able with three thin coats. The opacity was okay - as good as one can expect from a yellow nail polish.


I really like how bright and summer-y with polish is.

Fancy Friday: Girly

Hi girls!

Today I have some more Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys!
This time the Fancy Friday challenge is girly, so I decided to go all out with a pink base and a glitter gradient!

For the manicure I started off with a light pink base of Essie Fiji. Afterwards I used Essie Set in Stones to make the gradient effect down the nail.


I love how girly and cute these turned out - perfect for today's challenge.
